The Savannah Sipping Society

A Comedy by Jamie Wooten, Jessie Jones and Nicholas Hope

Playing September 27 – October 14, 2018
Directed by Jimmy Phillips

In this delightful, laugh-a-minute comedy, four unique Southern women, all needing to escape the sameness of their day-to-day routines, are drawn together by Fate—and an impromptu happy hour—and decide it’s high time to reclaim the enthusiasm for life they’ve lost through the years. Randa, a perfectionist and workaholic, is struggling to cope with a surprise career derailment; Dot, still reeling from her husband’s recent demise and the loss of an idyllic retirement, faces the unsettling prospect of starting a new life from scratch; Marlafaye, a good ol’ Texas gal, who has blasted into Savannah in the wake of losing her husband to a twenty-three-year-old dental hygienist; and Jinx, who offers her services as a much-needed life coach for these women. Over the course of six months, filled with laughter, hilarious misadventures, and lots of liquid refreshment, these middle-aged women successfully bond and find the confidence to jumpstart their new lives.

Set in the 1950’s, in a plantation house in the Mississippi Delta, a family celebrates the sixty-fifth birthday of the patriarch Big Daddy but despite the festivities, the mood is somber.

And Then There Were None

Eight total strangers are lured to a house on a remote island off the coast of Devon and find their host and hostess absent. Along with the staff, they are then marooned on the island by inclement weather and completely cut off from the outside world. One by one they are accused of murder; one by one they start to die. In this classic mystery, statuettes of little soldier boys on the mantel fall to the floor and break as one by one the guests are killed. A sinister nursery rhyme tells how each of the ten ‘soldiers’ met his death until there were none. Set in the 1940’s, this perfect combination of thriller and detective story will keep you guessing to the very final moment.

Brighton Beach Memoirs

This is part one of Neil Simon’s autobiographical trilogy: a portrait of the writer as a young teen in 1937 living with his family in a crowded, lower middle-class Brooklyn walk-up. Eugene Jerome, standing in for the author, is the narrator and central character. Dreaming of baseball and girls, Eugene must cope with the mundane existence of his family life in Brooklyn: formidable mother, overworked father, and his worldly older brother Stanley. Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche, her two young (but rapidly maturing!) daughters and you have a recipe for hilarity.
